It was in convenient location with easy access to trains, buses, or just walking. I loved that I had the bar/restaurant right underneath and could grab a bite or a drink whenever needed. The room itself was also chic and comfortable. My only criticism is that one of my windows did not lock properly, I think it was broken.

I loved the simplicity of this place while being very comfortable and having everything we needed. The check-in process was very easy and straightforward. We had issues activating our room key cards, but you literally just pick up the phone right there and it connects directly to someone who can help. The check-in beer was a fantastic touch! The hotel is centrally located with everything you could need within walking distance (including a wide variety of food options)! 2 things to keep in mind - there are stairs up to the rooms and there is night life in the area that you will hear at night (not too bad from the top floor). This didn't bother us, but it is something for other guests to consider if they are light sleepers or can't do stairs :)

cozy but loud

Basically it is a building with a bar and the hotel rooms. So music was pretty loud at night. At least they could just turn off the speaker at the entrance. Anyways, music from the speaker is pretty loud. except that, everything else was good. Clean and cozy and hot water.

Excellent value for a boutique style room, very clean and quiet even though above a lovely pub/restaurant. Great location. I can’t fault this hotel at all and would happily stay again and recommend.

Must admit was not quite sure about self booking in system. But..they called me the first night to make sure I was ok/happy. The room/ facilities were excellent. Loved the welcome bottle of beer...although didn’t have it but sure it was appreciated. Booking out a little disjointed... Door card dropbox inside foyer...logout pad outside entrance door. Otherwise..great concept...thank you
